Father’s do not exasperate your children-Eph 6:4

•Your children will spend your time and money •Your children will wear out your carpet and furniture •Your children will break the unbreakable •Your children will bring out the best and worst in you •Hardest job ever…! Ephesians 6:4 (NASB) 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

When We Fail-Col 2:14

Failure is inevitable: •Sin •Mistakes •Accidents •Poor planning •Lack of skill Colossians 2:14 (NASB) 14 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

Conscience 1 Peter 3:15-16

•Two of the biggest names of the 20th century recommend the conscience as a guide . 1 Peter 3:15-16 15 but [a]sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a [b]defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and [c]reverence; 16 [d]and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.

Reach The World-Isa 55:11

Why bother? •The task is too big •Stories of failure abound •How many ex-Christians, ex-preachers, ex-churches…do you know? •Lots of bad guys •Lots of rip-offs •Lots of disappointments Isaiah 55:11 (NASB) 11 So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;It will not return to Me empty,Without accomplishing what I desire,And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

Generousity-Staring into the heart of God -3 Eph 3:20-21

The Power •He is ALL powerful •He is EVER present •He is TOTALLY aware Ephesians 3:20-21 (NASB) 20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, 21 to Him bethe glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations [a]forever and ever. Amen.

Generousity-Staring into the heart of God 2-1Chron 29:10-19

1 Chronicles 29:10-19 (NASB) David’s Prayer 10 So David blessed the Lord in the sight of all the assembly; and David said, “Blessed are You, O Lord God of Israel our father, forever and ever.11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all. 12 Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your…

Generousity – Staring in the Heart of God-Acts 17:25-28

God’s generousity is not about you, Acts 17:25-28 (NASB) 25 nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; 26 and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, 27 that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;28 for in Him we live…

What To Say To God 3-Matt 6:6

Our ‘Prayer Closet’ is our Spiritual Oasis •In it is where we find fellowship alone with the Lord •There our thirst for God is satisfied—We find the strength to walk the street’s in this world—in the Light! •The spiritual wasteland still surrounds us Matthew 6:6 (NASB) 6 But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

What To Say To God, Too-Matt 7:11

Prayer is best talked about in prayer Matthew 7:11 (NASB) 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!
